How a Burial Vault is Sealed and Lowered.

This is the most important part of the job as a Vault man. Often the lowering of the casket is performed while family is present, if the family does not stay to view the lowering the funeral director and myself seal the vault.
Our goal as vault men is to let the families that we service know that their loved one is being taken care of with care and respect. This is why we have a certain dress code when family is present. Not all vault companies have the same standard of practice at this time, at Kelley Vault Company we view ourselves as an extention of the funeral home.

There are no words to describe what it feels like watching your son and only child be sealed in a box and lowered into the earth. I was as close to dead as I've ever felt that day. The people who did these necessary things for my wife and I will never know how much their compassion gave us comfort. ❤

[@gaggymott9159]

Over here in Northern Ireland, we bury our loved ones without a vault, in a wooden coffin, straight into the earth...Regulations say that the grave must be sunk to a distance of 6 ft. On 14 April 2023, one day after my 50th birthday, my belovéd Mother was buried, thus. The agony of watching that moment of finality seemed absolutely surreal...I can only imagine your thoughts, emotions and inner feelings...It's like what You're watching isn't really happening!

I worked at Wilbert burial vault for 10 years. I've buried probably close to 1000 people in my time. You don't understand how heavy that lowering device is and awkward to carry by yourself. And that Butyl tape that seals the cover to to the base is not letting water in that vault. What you don't see is the setup. What the CSRs go through to set a vault. In the rain, freezing cold, blistering heat and everything in between.

When my Father a WW2 Vet passed in 2012, I watched the whole precedings. Since he was buried with honors, it meant when the time came my Mother would be buried with him on top. The graves were dug twice in feet, and then concrete for a vault! Her time came in 2022! I watched as they were so caring, not to rushed and they even explained what they were doing through every movement. It was beautiful, in it's own way! I thanked the staff at the mortuary and expressed my gratitude!

You can see, this is not a job to this man, it's a compassion of love! Every movement he's so caring, gently wiping to casket, gently moving the flowers, notice he gently placed the flowers on the ground out of the way, DID NOT simply toss them to the ground! This is a wonderful man!

Rest in Peace, The older I get (66) and the closer I get to my last day, the more I realize just how frivolous all of this is. It is a great financial burden on those you leave behind, and for what? Your essence, your soul, has already left your body. All that remains is your lifeless shell which, despise all the expense, will eventually turn to dust. On the Last Day, the Father will raise us all up. Put me in a cheap wood box or just wrap me in a shroud, un-embalmed, and throw dirt on top of me.

[@denisek292]

That’s exactly how I feel. Funerals are way too expensive, so I’ve opted to be cremated. No matter if we’ve been buried, cremated or buried at sea, God will raise us to His glory! And, no matter how expensive the vault is, it does fill w/ water. My mother worked in the same building as an assistant chief firefighter, who had to be a witness at exhumations. It’s just wasted money. Vaults are meant to keep the ground from sinking.

I worked in a cemetery one summer a long time and although the denominational cemeteries used backhoes, the city cemetery i was at, was pick & shovel, then after digging down about 5’, unless curved liners were used, it’d be about 5 and a half feet. The liners were of heavy black slate, i guess to protect the coffin when it was lowered. This convinced me that when it’s time to shed my mortal coil, i’ll get cremated.

The only thing I don’t miss about working for the cemetery I worked for years at. Mainly is just when the funeral is going on at the cemetery you just stand back and watch or talk with maybe one or two of your work crew guys there. But in the end that’s a heavy mental burden just watching families grieving daily and dealing with death and every single day 2-3 times a day. Great job but after a bit that’ll start getting to yo u a little . And no you also don’t have to crank the casket down into the vault hole which ever form of wording you prefer, the device can lower itself as well.

I don't know if I could have watched them lower my mom into the ground almost two years ago in late June 2022. She had a lot of health issues including lung, breathing, heart failure, swelling leg, back pains. She was on oxygen for several years at home and on portable battery units and tanks when going out. We actually did a few mini overnight trips and a few long steam train excursions and she took battery units with her and extra batteries. It could charge in the car, hotel, etc. Maybe she wasn't 100% up to it but she did those for me. I like to travel, go in hotel pools and hot tubs, and ride train excursions. Se started to get worse though in early 2022. My brother and I are disabled, don't drive, and I am 50 and my brother 46 next month on the 17th. We have a man living with us since early 1994 and he drives us. He got the title to my mom's 2013 Hyundai Sonata.

[@cgimovieman]

In as much as it’s probably a little creepy to think about your body decaying or being eaten by worms, and even though I know burials like this as well as cemeteries are purely for the families, it just has always seemed like an incredibly huge waste to put all of that in the ground. As well as to take up huge amounts of space with cemeteries. I’m only 45, but more and more it makes so much more sense to me to just be cremated and not have all of that waste and expense. Personally I think it would be kind of neat to take my ashes, and have my family over time spread them in the 4-5 places I loved most in the world. Not only would it give them excuses to take some trips, and connect those places with you, but having your ashes in those places very literally makes you become part of them. But taking an expensive coffin and vault, and just burying it in the ground only to take up space in a cemetery for centuries? Eh…I just don’t know that it makes any sense.

Well done vault man

[@evarodriguezalequin5705]

I live in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, burials are done differently. All family and friends stays in the cemetery until the burial is done with sealing. We see everything. After sealing, all the floral arrangements are put on top. Then visitors leaves. All burial plots are made of cement with different capacity of people who are buried. My family’s plot has for 6 (2 + 2 for the sides and 2 in the middle which adds to 6). Ones can buy for 1, 2, etc. if it’s a public cemetery, each family has to maintain it. Private cemeteries charges a maintenance fee for them to do. Family members are responsible in keeping all plots clean and painted. Well maintained. As the years goes by if the plot is needed, family members has to go to court to exhume remains. The remains will be moved to a small metal box with the name of deceased and buried together with recent deceased. They were charging $600.00 just to move remains aside from the burial cost of recent deceased. Don’t know now since prices has gone up.

What happens after the vault is in the ground, do you have to do any other sealing on the vault? Someone in another comment mentioned tape? Also this looks like less than 6ft, do they really go only about 4ft? I would like to just see the rest of the process before the person leaves or like before the grass goes on.

My husband worked in a cemetery in Oklahoma. An Indian man that passed from diabetes had to have his leg amputated They , my husband dug the grave. They forgot about is amputated leg and had to resume his casket or in the Indian beliefs , he wouldn’t go to heaven without it. When my husband dug the grave back up. His casket was full of water

This funeral director or whatever his title is……is FINE 🔥😆

The deceased is well respected unlike in some other cultures where bodies are roasted like goats. May his soul rest in peace.

I respect people who can work in this field. It must be very difficult and emotionally draining. I think we need to get away from this custom, but that is just my personal opinion. This guy was so respectful and professional.❤

I'm curious how the lid itself seals onto the vault. Is there some kind of seal in between the two that the weight of the lid simply presses on?
